Bricks has a hardware and software components. The hardware element is an Arduino shield with a Digi Xbee radio, a series of specially made connectors for a wide range of sensors and an SD memory card connector.

The software is a framework that consists of:

• A firmware that implements a communication protocol to talk to any number networked Arduino boards.
• A series of command line utilities that act as a client to the firmware and implement the protocol allowing anyone to control a network of devices from a single computer.
• A server specifiying a database architecture that relates any sensor data into a physical and temporal context. Bricks server also implements a REST interface allowing anyone to query for any data source, any space at any time.
